About
The Irma Freeman Center for Imagination is a community arts center and gallery at 5006 Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh's Garfield neighborhood, founded to honor the artist Irma Freeman. Its sustainably renovated building (solar panels, radiant floor heating) holds two rotating first-floor galleries, a small art reference library, a kitchen, and an educational center and workshop, hosting exhibitions, art classes, summer camps, cultural events, and venue rentals. Public spaces are on the first floor, and the building includes a handicap-access bathroom; the Back Room opens by garage door onto a parking lot behind the building. Gallery hours are Saturdays 2–5 p.m. during exhibitions, or by appointment — call 412-924-0634 or email info@irmafreeman.org, and contact the center ahead about specific accessibility needs.

Our Guidelines
1. Make Accessibility Info Easy to Find - Dedicated Website Accessibility Page
Clearly post detailed accessibility information online, covering parking, entrances, interior pathways, site plans, and more.
2. Include All Mobility Devices
Consider walkers, canes, crutches — not just wheelchairs. Provide specifics for a variety of mobility needs. Include people who use different devices in the conversation.
3. Go Beyond ADA Compliance
ADA is the minimum. Strive for real-world accessibility through thoughtful design and ongoing improvements.
4. Visibility = Accessibility
If disabled visitors aren't present, barriers may exist. Transparency and preparation are the keys to inclusion. Empower everyone to attend.
